This is our eleventh annual meeting where over 115 law teachers from more than 30 countries have gathered together to discuss and formulate new strategies to improve legal education globally. Almost half of our participants are senior law school leaders (deans, vice deans and associate deans). We warmly welcome all the familiar faces from these many years – welcome and thank you for your continued engagement in advancing the cause of improving legal education globally. For those who are new, a special warm welcome from our community. Please meet your colleagues from around the world. We look forward to working with you in this challenging and engaging effort. The IALS is a non-political, non-profit learned society of more than 160 law schools and departments from over 55 countries representing more than 7,500 law faculty members. One of our primary missions is the improvement of law schools and conditions of legal education throughout the world by learning from each other. The Annual Meeting is a special occasion when all of our community has the opportunity to get together to meet, engage and discuss. This meeting continues our exploration of the essential elements of a legal education. This year’s theme is “From Imitation to Innovation”. The theme stems from the realization by an overwhelming majority of our members that legal education is at a cross roads. There is a growing recognition that we cannot continue to teach the way we have been taught. The focus of this year’s regional workshops and this annual meeting is to explore how diverse pedagogies and perspectives coupled with the new tools of technology is changing the way we are educating this new cohort of law students. We are developing a consensus as to what and how we teach, how that should be evaluated for doctrinal areas of law, and how we can involve other stake holders, especially the judiciary, in improving legal education as an ever-evolving world that puts greater pressure on the role and rule of law. Our deepest gratitude and appreciation to Qatar University, College of Law for so graciously hosting our 11th Annual Meeting. Special thanks to Dean, Dr. Mohamed Abdulaziz Al-Khulaifi, and the wonderful faculty, staff and students for all the fine arrangements they have made to make our participation in the meeting so memorable. Their thoughtfulness and professionalism proudly demonstrate effectiveness of the legal education at Qatar University. We hope you will take the opportunity in the next few days to renew old friendships, but also to make new ones. It is the commitment of our Association to foster the interaction amongst the world’s legal education leaders, and by learning from each other to guide the future of legal education globally.
